Welcome!

Hi there! My name is Kelly. I'm a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 13 now! I've lived all over the country and even in Hawaii. Right now, I'm currently in Southeast Missouri. Throughout my adult life, I've wanted to find a forum of some sort that encourages other Christian women. I've found wonderful craft blogs, weight loss sites, motherhood sites, book clubs, etc. So I am going to try my hand at a blog that contains a little bit of everything. Grab a cup of coffee and let's chat!!

Tell Me Tuesday

Week Three Question:What is the most important lesson you learned in the past year?

I think that the most important lesson I've learned is that regardless of where you are at, it depends on your state of mind as to where "home" is.I grew up just outside of Detroit, MI. That will always be Home (capital "H"). The place that sank into the very fabric of my being from the day I was born. Motown, Greektown, Cranbrook University, Boblo Island, (which is, from what I understand, now a gated community: no longer a carnival/theme park.), Coney dogs, and Dunkin' Donuts. These are just a few of the things that I loved so much growing up. One of my best friends posted this on Facebook and it fits so well that I'll re-post here. There is a certain amount of pride when discussing the place where you were raised and that pride, I have in abundance.

"I
was raised in Michigan, where we use our hand as a map, the number one
industry is tourism, and automobiles came from. More varieties of trees
than all of Europe, more water front property than the entire Atlantic
coast. Hitsville USA - Motown. Where Tim Allen, Alice Cooper, Madonna,
Bob Seger, Diana Ross, Eminem, Stevie Wonder, Robin Williams, and Kid
Rock are from. A vacation was to Cedar Point,
Lake Michigan, Up North, or a drive across the bridge or tunnel to
Canada. We love Faygo, Better Made Chips, Vernors, and Mackinaw Island
Fudge. We know that the UP is a place not a direction. We know that
Kalamazoo not only exists, but you drive through it to get to Climax and
Hell. We play Euchre, swim in lakes, fish, and camp. We bake with
"soda" and drink "pop". We measure distance in hours. We can drive 65
mph in a foot of snow or a blizzard and not even flinch."

You are so right in knowing it is the state of mind where you find home. Home means so many things to so many people. Others have an easier time relocating than others and can readjust to where home is and what it means so easily. I always try to remember, where ever I am and if I am happy, than that is home....even if it is temporary.

Romans 8:38-39

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
